Descriptions

The Web Notification API in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.5, Thunderbird before 24.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.26 allows remote attackers to bypass intended source-component restrictions and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a privileged context via a crafted web page for which Notification.permission is granted.

La API Web Notification en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 29.0, Firefox ESR 24.x anterior a 24.5, Thunderbird anterior a 24.5 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.26 permite a atacantes remotos evadir restricciones de componente de fuente y ejecutar código Java arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado a través de una página web manipulada para la cual se concede permiso Notification.

Bobby Holley, Carsten Book, Christoph Diehl, Gary Kwong, Jan de Mooij, Jesse Ruderman, Nathan Froyd, John Schoenick, Karl Tomlinson, Vladimir Vukicevic and Christian Holler discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. An out of bounds read was discovered in Web Audio. An attacker could potentially exploit this cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.
